Can I stream digital optical in and direct it to my Bluetooth out by using application driver or software setup? Using Windows 8.1

I couldn't get my optical in to work at all, you're asking a lot of this cheap dated little card. I returned mine. I wish you the best of luck on this one. My hope is to save you the trouble of an RMA.

Best solution is to download VLC player, which is free and open source. And this device definitely works under Windows 8.

Just plug it into your USB connector your machine should see it and when you can use your Bluetooth product.

Yes, just connect via Bluetooth. Once connected to your controlling device (OS independent) You just run any application that plays audio.

Works well with my Sony Blu Ray player so I don't see why not. Stream is consistent with no buffering. 802.11n

Hi The only ones that work with both Android and Windows 7/8 would be the obdlink Bluetooth, MX or LX

There's no bluetooth dongle included, so you'll either need to purchase one (for older hardware) or use them with a device that has bluetooth built-in.

Try DAK, only brand I know of that has bluetooth receivers supporting apt-x

I don't see any digital optical connection in the back. The unit is a (very) decent receiver for an MP3 player (I use my iPhone) and a CD/other connection. If you are interested in running the audio through the Sonata, you can use the RCA audio out from TV to the receiver, then onto the speakers. You may want to go to the Cambridge website, download the manual and look at the diagram for the rear of the unit.

Yes - I've connected my Mac Mini optical out to the optical in on the receiver unit, and then optical back out to a DAC that connects to some active speakers. This is basically a 'pass through' - it lets me 'bypass' receiver by switching to optical out on my mac. But, I also used the optical out from the Mac - it's just I couldn't get full 5.1/7.1 channel audio out of the Mac, so use HDMI. The optical in/out seems primarily designed to allow the receiver unit to be flexible in how it sits 'in between' existing source equipment, like receivers or soundbars. They UK online manual is very helpful: http://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/hw700ds/v1/en/contents/02/index.html

Supposedly this also streams via Bluetooth, if you can actually get it to pair

Thanks for your inquiry. The AK120 supports Bluetooth aptX streaming at CD quality. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

It isn't needed. Open windows icon on bar. Search for services. And turn on Bluetooth services in the list. The software they provide is a trial and is too expensive to buy. It works wonderful with windows but you have to enable it to work with the os.

Sorry. I messed up. It works great with Windows 8.1. With the bluray software, not included

No, you must get some type of adapter, i.e. bluetooth dongle. There are ones with digital optical outputs that use Apt-x, which is a format for very good digital sound. I am going to get this TV but I'm disappointed that it's not Bluetooth enabled.
